  1. SG-1 would probably be good, with the caveat that the pilot episode, which was originally filmed as a tv movie on Showtime, has one scene about half way through that features full female nudity. None of the rest of that episode has anything objectionable in it, nor does any of the rest of the series, it was just that one scene. I've always felt like they thought they needed to do that because it was on premium cable, but who knows. If you decide to try SG-1 you also consider SG-Atlantis.
  2. $400 for the year, but our house is only around 1,000 sq. ft. and is on a narrow lot.
  3. Wow, that sounds awful! Around where I am it's more just people with the attitude that the whole covid thing is overblown and we are weak-minded fools for falling for it. I haven't had anyone who deliberately tried to come over and breathe on me. I have had a few who felt the need to educate me on their view of the pandemic (i.e. it's not real/ it was a plan/ it's a plot for world domination). I usually just say that I disagree and that's it. To be honest I don't think I would be able to be non-judgmental or non-shaming if someone was deliberately trying to get in my personal space and put me at risk. I think I would be making a scene and raising holy hell about it. That being said, ever since I started going through peri-menopause I haven't been very good about keeping my mouth shut or caring what other people think so YMMV.
  4. I've heard it around here (lower Midwest) for years. I think I learned it from the original CSI back in the day.
  5. It was a small upper division history class and the group project was really the only thing we did that semester. Additionally, the group only consisted of three people, and the prof was the one who requested that he be cc'd on the communications. He already knew that there had been problems in the group before I was asked to take over as group leader. I would never presume to include a prof in those sorts of communications without first discussing it with them. However, I would, and did, keep a record of all group communications as a cya sort of thing, just like I would at any job.
  6. If the bolded is true then I would probably do my part to the best of my ability and if the others didn't do their part then so be it. Let them learn what happens when you don't carry your weight. Yeah, you'd lose out on the points for the projects but if it won't hurt her overall grade in the class then so what? When I was in school towards the end I made it a point to never take on the role of leader unless specifically asked to do so by the instructor. I also made it a point to cc the prof in every "official" group communication I sent out (after meeting with them about the group situation). Emailing to remind people of a deadline? CC the prof. Emailing to ask someone why they didn't show up to a meeting/conference call? CC the prof. It made sure that everyone knew that the prof was aware of the issues and kept the he said/she said down to a minimum. I also had all the work done in a shared Google doc that the prof was on as well so he could go back and see who had done what and when.
  7. I take NP Thyroid and I've never had issues with it. My endocrinology office doesn't like to use Armour because the current formulation uses fillers that make it hard for some people to absorb.
  8. When I got my last new computer it asked me if I wanted to add all the songs on my iPod to my iTunes library. But that was going from an iPod to an iMac. I don't know how it works if you have a pc.
  9. Woman Within Perfect tanks are really good and not too pricey. The "heathered" colors are cotton/poly, all the rest are pure cotton. Be advised that they do run a little large. I usually order a size smaller than I typically wear. https://www.womanwithin.com/products/perfect-scoop-neck-tank/1006954.html#cgid=WW_Tops_by_Sleeve_Length_Tank_Tops&start=1
  10. You should consider asking about it on the Memoria Press forum. A lot of folks over there have used it and I know I've seen posts about it.
  11. What about Call the Midwife? I first discovered it on Netflix. I would say Broadchurch, but it's sort of a cop show. It's really more of a murder mystery than a procedural like Law & Order, but it's still about two cops so it might not be your cup of tea.
  12. I have one like this, it's a Franklin Covey week on two pages format with a monthly grid. It comes in several sizes and is ring-bound so you could add extra pages. I put it in a better binder from Staples rather than buy an expensive planner cover but YMMV. I really need the the hourly break down to stay on top of things.
  13. Just an FYI, in most states embalming is not legally required. It is only necessary if the family is planning to have a viewing/open casket funeral.
  14. We're in southwest Indiana, and even though we have central air we haven't turned it on in at least 3 years. It bothers my mother's asthma so off it stays. The first year was awful, but now we're all adapted to it so it doesn't bother us until it stays over ~75 all night.
  15. The most likely test they'd order is a cardiac stress test. But, honestly, assuming you aren't having chest pain or tightness, and that your shortness of breath only occurs with exertion, and is predictable in that you know it's going to happen when you exercise they may just do a 12-lead ECG to look for a dysrhythmia. If I were your PCP I'd want you to see a pulmonologist (exercise induced asthma) followed by an ENT (vocal cord malfunction). It doesn't sound like a heart problem.
  16. Around here (southwest Indiana) it is two trimesters of PE and one trimester of Health. So that works out to be 24 weeks of PE and 12 of Health. They can all be done in one academic year or split between 9th and 10th grades.
  17. I've got a bunch of these in my house: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Casual-Home-Mission-Style-Walnut-Solid-Wood-5-Shelf-Bookcase-310-64/302995412 I really like them. They were fairly easy to assemble, hold a lot of books without issue, don't weigh a ton, and didn't break the bank.
  18. Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, Vegan Pie in the Sky, and Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar by Isa Chandra Moskowitz & Terry Hope Romero are all really good with fairly straightforward ingredients. The Joy of Vegan Baking by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau is also a really good book that recipes for a wide variety of baked goods and desserts. If I was going to get just one it would be The Joy of Vegan Baking because all the recipes I've made from it have been good and it covers so many bases.
  19. It largely depends on what the student's goals are. If the student has their eyes on seminary or reading the writings of the church fathers or other early theologians then we would do ecclesiastical. However, if the student has plans to read more ancient authors or to take Latin classes anywhere other than a religious school we would do classical as that is what's used in most schools. If pressed to choose only one I would probably choose the classical pronunciation as it would make for an easier transition to a high school or college class later. That being said, the differences aren't that dramatic so one could teach both successfully if one wanted to.
  20. King Size Direct has some stuff that would probably work for someone his age. Their prices are usually pretty reasonable too.
  21. If she has done well with the grammar she has already learned you might try something like the Legamus transitional readers from Bolchazy-Carducci. They also have some very nice AP prep and AP level texts and workbooks that would serve her well on the AP exam, which is mostly Caesar and Vergil. The Caesar Workbook and the Vergil Workbook are both designed to prep students for the AP Latin exam. Both are very nice, I know a couple of professors who use them to prep for translation classes at the university I went to. You could couple the Legamus reader and the Workbook from one author together and have a very nice translation class. If you wanted you could get a copy of Wheelock to have on hand for reference and review as needed, they're not very expensive.
  22. If your daughter is finishing Fourth Form/Henle I then she has already covered pretty much the entire Latin grammar. Assuming she understands the material covered, starting another program (like Wheelock or Latin Alive) that's going to cover things she has already learned seems like it would be boring, and frankly a waste of your (and her) time. Why not get Henle II? Or another transitional program? Do you think she needs more practice with the basics, or needs to go over things again for some reason?
  23. I second the call to limit acidic foods, my grandmother had problems with canker sores for years until she realized that if she didn't eat acidic foods they got better. Also, and YMMV, but when I was younger I would get them occasionally, and I found that putting some peroxide on a cotton swab and thoroughly rubbing the sore with it helped to clear them up. Might be worth a try.
  24. I have a couple of differently sized enameled cast iron dutch ovens that work very well for both cooking soup and look good enough for serving it.
  25. I agree with a PP who suggested testing for infection. UTIs can have a variety of presentations in the elderly that don't happen in younger people. If she hasn't been eating adequately for awhile she could have nutritional deficiencies that are contributing as well, have you all tried getting her to drink something like Boost or Ensure a couple of times each day? However, she could just be really old. My grandmother just turned 90, and she does have moments of confusion and suspicious thinking, though not to the extent you are describing. I would want her checked for infection and seen by a neuro guy who works with the elderly a lot.
